About
Beaver Creek Campground is a remote, no-fee campground situated 63 miles south of Hungry Horse along the gravel East Side Reservoir Road. Located at 4,200 feet elevation next to the Spotted Bear River, the campground features 4 campsites set back from Spotted Bear River Road in an old growth stand of trees, with sites less than 100 feet from the river. The campground accommodates tents and trailers up to 32 feet in length. Each site includes a table and metal fire ring. An accessible vault toilet is available, but there is no drinking water; visitors must treat river water before consumption. Stock is permitted in the campground, with amenities including a stock unloading ramp, hitchrails, and feed bunks. Weed seed free feed is required for all stock. This moderately-used campground typically has availability mid-week and is popular as a base for summer fishing and late October-November hunting. It also serves as trailhead parking for stock users when the Silvertip Trailhead is closed. The remote location has no cell phone service. Visitors must pack out all garbage, and food storage orders require that all food, garbage, and attractants be kept unavailable to bears. The 14-day stay limit applies.
